Memo to the Paris Olympics: France Owes Everything to Christianity
Joel Saget
Miniature replicas of Paris Sacre-Coeur Basilic (L), Notre-Dame Cathedral (C) and the Invalides at the 'France Miniature' leisure Park on July 29, 2011 in Elancourt, a western Paris suburb. All attract millions of visitors every year, as constant reminders that nothing is as unifying and timeless as classical art, especially if it has faith as its vector.

COMMENTARY: As the 2024 Olympic Games conclude, it is worth reminding their organizers of the French capital’s Catholic soul — and the saints who shaped it.
